Mr. Martin, the Inspector, had been, and had told them that they ought to 
have given notice. Mr. Manning said there was no necessity of giving 
further notice, that it was all right, and that he would take the responsibility 
on his own shoulders. 
By Mr. Merritt — Could not say what day this conversation took place; 
it was about a month ago ; before the 12lk Nov. that he had spoken 
to Mr. Manning. 
By Mr. Prall. — At the time he spoke to Mr. Manning did not know that 
it was necessary to give notice ; first knew that it was so when the Inspec- 
tor produced his book. Mr. Martin had been over before he (witness) had 
the conversation with Mr. Manning. 
Mr. Prall said he had spoken warmly on the previous case, but he should 
speak more warmly on this occasion ; lie was astonished at this case having 
been brought forward. He spoke of the indignation his client felt at having 
been served with such a summons, which set forth that he wilfully aided 
and abetted the defendant Mr. Stedman, to commit the offence with 
which he had been charged. He referred to the ability of Mr. Manning, 
who had been with Mr. Fletcher, veterinary surgeon of Rochester, for 
twenty-seven years. He well knew and thoroughly understood his business. 
His client knew nothing about the notice, and how, he asked, could he be 
guilty of aiding and abetting in a case before he knew that it had taken 
place. He had no doubt but that the bench would, on considering the case, 
dismiss the summons. 
The case was dismissed. 
Captain Savage said if the advice had been given by the defendant at an 
earlier stage, he must have been convicted. He was cautioned not to give 
advice in future.
